About Holy Cross Associates:
We are lay men and women who answer God’s call to an association with the Congregation of Holy Cross, Midwest Province of Brothers. We embrace the heritage and charisms of the Congregation.
We witness with zeal and hope through our annual commitment:
to grow spiritually,
to form community by sharing the Holy Cross spirit of family and hospitality, and
to minister and serveGod’s people.
Associates form relationships
with each other and with vowed religious colleagues through association and sharing in the spirituality, hospitality, mission and family spirit of Holy Cross.
We walk side by side with Holy Cross priests, brothers and sisters in the fulfillment of the vision of the founder of Holy Cross, Blessed Basil Anthony Moreau.
Blessed Basil Anthony Moreau
founded the Congregation of Holy Cross in 1837 through a union of brothers, sisters and priests.
He also engaged the laity in his growing religious family. Lay men and women today are collaborators with the religious of Holy Cross throughout the world.
Holy Cross Associates make a difference by sharing a variety of ministries including education and service.
